Case Study: Swinburne University of Technology achieves streamlined project document management and audit‑ready records with Oracle Aconex

Aconex goes to school with Swinburne University projects

Swinburne University, which operates six campuses in Victoria, Australia and Sarawak, Malaysia, faced an expanded capital works program (about US$80M) to add capacity and upgrade facilities. Project teams struggled with paper files stored across multiple locations, outdated drawings that caused errors and delays, and strict twice-yearly audits that demanded rigorous project-data management.

By adopting Oracle Aconex’s secure, neutral collaboration platform, Swinburne consolidated documents and correspondence on a single system with version control, unlimited storage and a permanent audit-ready record. The university now manages tens of thousands of items across 50+ projects, finds information in seconds instead of days, reduces errors and rework by working from current drawings, and cut printing by 40%.
